feb 10...self portrait

Nothing like having to take a self-portrait for the day's challenge (also funny thing: Dawn needed a headshot of herself; aka self-portrait and Jocelyn just finished doing one of herself). So I looked around and tried a few different places and opted for this because it is in the messiest corner of my whole house. It's next to the frig where my computer sits and everything else. I repeatedly tredto make it neat and orderly but this is one area that I cannot work in order. I work best here in chaos. Do you see what's right over my shoulder? You can't read it but it's my newly-arrived package of glazing sugar from King Arthur, as suggested by my 'friend' Marcy Goldman. The best line of the package reads: Specially formulated to dry firm and fast and glossy. This is what I had wanted in a glaze for donuts. Not the sappy, drippy sweet junk that's on Krispy Kremes. I want the good stuff like is found on donuts in granny places, not chains.

I'm a granny. I am not a chain. And I think that most times I am firm, fast and glossy....in whatever context you want to consider. I think I fit them all.
